Het received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A sudden layoff left Het short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Karnataka, India947 views
When my hours were cut in half in April, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $490
• Late fees and court costs: $70
• Utilities in arrears: $55
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Het
stay strong, Het. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Take care. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Maringá so I could bring a meal.
Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
You're not alone, Het. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Bengaluru.
how is Het doing now?
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Greetings from Hyderabad.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Hải Phòng
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted.
Thanks for sharing this, Het. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Hang in there, Het. Your post was clear and honest.
